94. THE SPIRITUALITY
OF BRAHMANDA AND ITS DENIZENS

144.
The spirituality from Sunna, the top
sphere of Brahmanda, down to the next
sphere, viz, Trikuti, is of a very
high order, so much so that it does not compare very unfavourably with the
spirituality of the higher planes. From Trikuti
downwards, however, the spirituality has lost its pure distinctive feature in
consequence of admixture with subtle matter, viz, molecules, and is technically
known, down from that sphere, viz, molecules, and is technically known, down
from that sphere, as prana, which
should not be confounded with vayu tattva
(gaseous condition of matter). When the three currents, which originally started
from Sunna (vide Article 93),
proceeded onwards from the lower end of Bankal
(the crooked tunnel), they separated into three subtle currents known as ira, pingla,
and sushumma. The last occupies the
middle position, while ira and pingla are respectively on the left and
right sides. These three main currents are the channels or arteries through
which spirituality, referred to above, is supplied to the lower portion of Brahmanda. Orbs, somewhat similar to
those of the purely spiritual regions, were evolved by the three spiritual
currents which emanated from Sunna.
Three classes of orbs were, however, formed by them, in consequence of their
having originated from three distinct sources. Two classes have the distinctive
features of suns and moons stated previously (vide Article 89), while the third
class consists of taras (planets),
which should not be confounded with the stars we see, as the stars are
themselves suns and moons. The third class possesses the distinctive features
of planets.
